Kid Rock's Badass

Well, I don't know much about Mr. Rock. While he is a Detroit native, his genre is..."Southern rock-rap?" Kid Rock created American Badass Beer and the Michigan Brewing Company contracted it. He also wrote a song called American Badass. Sample lyrics: Pass that bottle aroundGot the rock from DetroitSoul from MotownThe underground stoned fuckin pimpWith tracks that mack and slap back the whackNever gay, no way, I don't play with ass. Charming, amiright? Read a few song lyrics, he is very into his heterosexuality. And he does enjoy a bottle and created a beer to enjoy with friends. His words, "People that like premium beers and Guinness is their choice, they will not like this. I want this to be like the beer I drink. You grab it, you share it with your friends, it's refreshing, it's cold, it gives you a good buzz. Done."This is the palest beer I have ever seen. It's slightly yellowish water with a 3 finger sudsy head and lots of carbonation. The smell? Like a watery macro lager. The taste? Like a watery macro lager. This could be the beer for the person who does not like beer, since it's more water than anything. Faint grass, faint apple, faint earthy afer-taste. This beverage is very thin. Have I mentioned watery?It's somewhat drinkable, since there is not much flavor, and relatively little alcohol at 4.2%. In a nutshell, this is bad. Not badass. Not even close. I'll give it a D, because at least this will maybe stiumlate the Michigan economy for a minute.

You're so awesome! And that is the grossest looking beer I've ever seen. I know nothing about beer and even I knew that was too pale to be good. Ugh. Also, one more (among many) complaint about Kid Rock is that he once rhymed "things" with "things" in a song. What a knob!

Meh. So, he's made water with essence de beer :-p Looks gross...sounds gross but then I'm more of a Boch Girl (HEY! I think I'll make that my handle!- cool)so I'll just file this with Bud, Miller and all the others... in the "if its cold and free I'll drink it" folder - otherwise count me out! You are correct about the economic factor - as least he's created a few jobs with it - always a good thing.

About Me

I've always enjoyed a beverage or two. But beer is something I have never really understood. Oh, I have drunk it. And I have enjoyed it. But to understand it...that is something else all together. See my "intro" entry from 10/17/08 for details.
